Hi! I am using OLE (don't ask me why (grin)) to connect and access information from my MS Access database, and needed to to get "hash reference" from the rows in the database. Being fairly new to Perl, I'm already lost .... any input would be appreciated. Thanks. 

my $dbh; 

$dbh = CreateObject OLE "ADODB.Connection" or die "Can't create connec
+tion to DataBase: $!" unless $dbh;

$dbh->Open("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=db/textbookhu
+b.mdb");

my $rs = CreateObject OLE "ADODB.Recordset" or die "can not create rec
+ordset"; 

my $sqlstatement = "SELECT username, sessionID FROM user WHERE id=$id"
+;  # Prepare and execute SQL statement

$rs = $dbh->Execute($sqlstatement);

Basically, I want to username and sessionID into a hash reference to pass elsewhere ...... ?! :-(

Thanks in adance.
